What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
My day starts early with making breakfast and packing lunch for my wonderful husband. I am motivated to jump out of my warm bed to make him some scrambled eggs and bagels toasted golden brown by the idea of knowing I am adding just a little bit of kindness to his day.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I would love to spend every waking minute behind my keyboard creating new worlds to explore and find adventure in. When I am finished with my chores for the day, I spend some time with my family reading books, learning new and interesting things on a nature channel or cooking a meal together. We do a lot of family time and I wouldn't want it any other way. In my spare time I enjoy reading, needle point, and creating interesting things like sculpted candles or sand creatures at the beach - sand castles are not my cup of tea so I started making creatures like dolphins, turtles, and fish and it has become a beach tradition.
